My company certainly goes all out for Christmas. Earlier this month we went to the company Christmas party at the Zermatt Resort where they had casino games, sleigh rides, a hypnotist, an acapella group, a cariacture artist, a string quartet, blanket tying, a photo booth, a live band, and prizes (which included ipads, Macbooks, ski passes, cameras, etc.). Jason and I left Leila with my parents and had our first date night since she was born. Even though we didn't win any prizes, we still had a great time!
A couple weekends later, my team threw their Christmas party/activity: the Red Nose Run. For this activity, we met at the Trax station in Sandy, split into teams, rode Trax up to Temple Square in Salt Lake, and then were unleashed on the city for a scavenger hunt of sorts. These are some of the pictures we had to take as part of the quest.

Despeite the awesome pictures, my team came in dead last and were rewarded with "yellow snow" candy.
For the 12 business days before Christmas, my department had a different activity every day. We had contests, dress-up days, and lots and lots of yummy food.

While it is certainly tough to get up and going at 4:30 every morning and leave my sweet angel baby girl for 8 hours, I'm grateful that I work for such a good company and with wonderful people.
